I was fortunate that Star Force was there to help me through one of the most difficult and stressful times in my life. Their program is designed and engineered to promote self-awareness. To help you identify your strengths, your gifts, and your passions. To help you discover your value proposition (what you have to offer an employer) and make it so clear that it becomes easy to talk about and more importantly, easy to sell yourself. That, in and of itself, would have been worth the investment. However, Star Force does so much more! Why am I so enthusiastic about all this? Because I’m a Star Force USA success story! I secured an attractive job offer with a large corporation in San Antonio in a little over 60 days…
FULL STORY: After a 20 year career in the US Air Force my family and I decided the time was right to transition to a civilian career. While excited at the new opportunities and journey before us, the thought of having to look for work, prepare resumes and cover letters, perfect my interviewing skills, and convince a prospective employer that I was the solution to their problem terrified me. Throughout my career I was conditioned to recognize my subordinates and our team for every accomplishment and success we enjoyed. Military officers simply do not accept credit nor do they promote their achievements. Now I was told that to secure a civilian job offer I had to not only promote myself, but become an expert at something I had not done in 20 years. Boy, did I need help!
I was fortunate that Star Force was there to help me through one of the most difficult and stressful times in my life. Their program is designed and engineered to promote self-awareness. To help you identify your strengths, your gifts, and your passions. To help you discover your value proposition (what you have to offer an employer) and make it so clear that it becomes easy to talk about and more importantly, easy to sell yourself. That, in and of itself, would have been worth the investment. However, Star Force does so much more! They will help you prepare a resume that speaks to the hiring authority and stands out from among the thousands of others. They will help you put together an interviewing outfit that makes a positive and lasting first impression and makes you feel confident. They will prepare you for the critical and stressful series of interviews you will certainly go through as one of their clients. And finally, they will help you negotiate a competitive salary and benefits package. Again, any of these services individually would be worth your investment. Star Force will provide you all of this and their continued support and friendship.
Why am I so enthusiastic about all this? Because I’m a Star Force USA success story! I secured an attractive job offer with a large corporation in San Antonio in a little over 60 days after I applied for military retirement and began my journey with Star Force. Star Force was there with me and my family every step of the way and I’m convinced they were a key part of my success. I encourage you to think seriously about your transition and make an investment in your preparation. Could you do it on your own? Probably. But just like I wouldn’t want to defend myself in criminal court or deliver my own newborn child, some things are best left to professionals. In my humble opinion, career transition coaching is one of them. Don’t shortchange yourself or your family and contact Star Force today!
